Diy Coin Slot Mechanism

I claim:

These narrow plastic devices measure 1-1/4'x1', and are only 3/8' thick. They contain a music box which begins to play when a coin is inserted into the slot. Using this astounding bit of high technology you can convert any wooden or stained glass bank into an interesting gift or attractive item to sell at a flea market or Zen smoker. Just enlarge the existing slot to accommodate the Bank Slot. Pachislo Slot Machine Coin Mechanisms. Many different types exist. To match one to a specific machine you must match to the look or to the machine, any part numbers and then the number of pins and the width of the connector.

In general, the coin slot mechanism is housed to one side on the top of the washer and is either the upright type or the sliding type, the dial type being more common on dryers. First, remove the coin store tray, empty it and check if there is anything obvious in the coin shoot inside.

1. A coin control mechanism for controlling access to a dispensing machine, said dispensing machine including access means and latch means for locking said access means in a closed position, said coin mechanism comprising:

first coin chute means capable of allowing the receipt and passage of nickel, dime, and quarter denomination coins therethrough and further capable of allowing the receipt of one dollar denomination coins:

second coin chute means capable of allowing the passage of one dollar coins therethrough;

weight and size responsive diverting means in operative association with said first and second coin chute means for diverting the dollar coins from said first coin chute means into said second coin chute means while allowing the passage of nickel, dime and quarter denomination coins therethrough;

means for totalizing the value of coins passing through said first and said second coin chute means;

actuator means operatively connected to said totalizing means for releasing said latch means when a predetermined value of coins has passed through said first and said second coin chute means;

means for selecting said predetermined value from an upper value, a middle value, and a lower value;

a limit stop movable between an upper limit member, a middle limit member, and a lower limit member, corresponding to said upper value, said middle value and said lower value, respectively, said limit stop being connected to said totalizing means; and

adjustment means for moving said limit stop to one of said limit members;

said adjustment means comprising a linkage member coupled to said limit stop, whereby rotation of said linkage member causes said limit stop to move between said limit members;

wherein said linkage member is further connected to lock means mounted on the outside of said dispensing machine, whereby movement of said lock means to a first angular position causes said limit stop to move to said upper limit member, movement of said lock means to a second angular position causes said limit stop to move to said middle limit member, and movement of said lock means to a third angular position causes said limit stop to move to said lower limit member, thus allowing quick adjustment in said coin mechanism between said upper, said middle, and said lower values.

2. The device as described in claim 1 wherein said diverting means includes cradle means and deflector means, wherein said cradle means, in a first angular position engages nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar coins and rotates in response to receipt thereof to a second angular position for the dollar coin and to a third angular position for the nickel, dime, and quarter coins, allowing said coins to drop downward off said cradle means, wherein said deflector means engages said first coin chute means vertically below said second angular position to intercept the dollar coins and direct them into said second coin chute means, and said nickel, dime, and quarter coins fall through said first coin chute means.

3. The device as described in claim 1 wherein said first coin chute means and said second coin chute means lie in generally parallel, vertical planes.

4. The device as described in claim 3 further comprising an articulation means, which articulation means allows the rotation of said first and said second coin chute means from said parallel planes to substantially non-parallel planes, said articulation means further comprising a bias means to maintain said first coin chute means and said second coin chute means in said parallel planes.

5. The device as described in claim 2 wherein said actuation means contains a first lever and a second lever, said first lever in operative association with said first coin chute means and said second lever in operative association with said second coin chute means, said levers being responsive to the passage of coins to advance the totalizer from a predispensing position to a dispensing position.

6. The device as described in claim 5 wherein:

said first lever has a first end and a second end, with a rotation pin therebetween, said first end having an engagement pin and said second end having a ratchet means, said engagement pin for engaging the coins as they pass through said first coin chute means and said ratchet means for engaging and advancing the totalizer as the coins rotate said first lever;

said second lever has a first end and a second end, with a rotation pin therebetween, said first end having an engagement pin and said second end having a ratchet means, said engagement pin for engaging the coins as they pass through said second coin chute means and said ratchet means for engaging and advancing the totalizer as the coins rotate said second lever;

wherein said actuator means incrementally advances said totalizer from a nondispensing position to a dispensing position in response to the passage of said coins through said first and said second chute means, said dispensing position allowing access to the periodical dispensing machine.

UPDATE: Problem was solved. The coin mech inside was actually make for .900' diameter coins, quarters are .955'. The reject buttons on the outside of the machine said 25 cents, so I assumed. After taking the mech out, '.900' is written right on the side of it. I have a .900' token and it did work. Lesson learned!
The response I had on my first issue (monitor related) was very helpful! Hoping I can get another bit of advice. I have a couple issues with my coin slot assembly. Both are probably easy fixes, but obviously this is new to me..
1) Burnt out lights - The LEDs are definitely burnt out. Where can I get replacements? I've heard superbrights.com has them but I'm not quite finding something that looks like mine. Picture of the bulb and housing attached....this seems like a bulb that I could find at a hardware store but I don't know the required size/specs. FYI, this will be in an Coin Acceptors Inc. assembly. Seems they were bought by Happ? Picture of the assembly also attached, as mentioned in issue 2.
2) Stuck Coins - Quarters are getting stuck. There's a picture below where they're getting stuck. The blue line is the path the coin takes once inserted, the red circle is where the coin is stuck. It seems they're stuck on the brass lever...the coin reject button works just fine and I know the end mechanism (switch?) that adds the credit works, I just can't figure out how to get it to accept a coin. The front door does say 25C on it as well, so it seems it should be set for US quarters.
Any help is appreciated.
